i really love how the author doesn't go the obvious route and instead makes the character more in tune with themselves. i would've expected them to travel the world, as what everyone around them hoped for them to do, but the author finds the beauty in staying firm and healing with your past without major life-changing decisions, not that there's anything wrong w that as well. i like that they truly regarded haruki's preference for the mundane non-changing life in the comfort of the house with his parent's memories and will now be filled with more memories & love with aki
i'm on ch. 56 & everyone's shit is just so tiring honestly. like i'm rooting for nobody atp. the material was good but the longer it went on the more i felt disengaged from the characters.
